York PCSO Max Glover-West said: "Your awareness makes a difference, If you observe shoplifting or any suspicious activity, report it immediately to a store worker.
"Do not approach or intervene, simply provide as much detail as possible. This can aid store detectives and police in identifying criminals to hopefully retrieve items and prevent further offences.
"Working together helps prevent crime, protects customers and employees and keeps our communities safe."
